Began Lincoln and Douglas: The Debates that Defined America

Thought a good follow-up book to The Slaves’ War would be Lincoln and Douglas by Allen C. Guelzo.

Thought a good follow-up book to The Slaves’ War would be Lincoln and Douglas by Allen C. Guelzo. The book covers the circumstances that shaped the great debates in 1858 between an Illinois lawyer and a powerful senator on the issue of slavery. It’s wonderful to read more in-depth about topics you think you already know so well. Hopefully this book will prove to be illuminating.
